Arguement to combat MS storm troopers

Post by Hethrir »

To cut a long story short, I was watching the news with someone and laughed out loud when the news reported that the latest virus would attack SCO and now they are offering a reward for the info to capture the writer. Of course I commented on how I thought the poetic justice of Blaster was mildly amusing from one perspective, and then the accusation went out that I hate MS. Don't get me wrong, they have written some good products in the past, but they have also done some nasty stuff. I was accused of hating MS just because they are successful and have made money.

It was afterwards I thought of a great reply...Hitler and Saddam were quite successful as well, but we still wanted them taken down.

well let's just say that the extent of IT knowledge of this person is just obut exhausted at pushing 'on.' I told this said person a few years ago to 'press ctrl s' to save and they pressed 'control,' let go of it, and then pressed 's.' I'm sure general computer knowledge has not proceeded far since then.

Hitler and Saddam are nowhere near analogous to Microsoft; that would be a rather poor comparison to make.

yes, but it shows the flaw in the logic.
